Throughout the life of the b43 driver, there have been changes in the

So from 478.104 through 666.2 b43 driver stayed
the same in relation to simply cutting, dropping

post 478.104?
If you had one of the newer cores, then you needed newer firmware to get the
correct file, but the older ones worked. However, I should never trust my
memory. The TX and RX headers changed with firmware version 598.314. The change
in the driver was introduced with commit 17030f4 in such a way that the older
firmware versions still worked.
Can you link to a pre 478.104 example from the repo?

The two commits are at the bottom of the page
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/drivers/net/wireless/b43?ofs=200.
With that said, I have not tested anything newer than
666.x. Where did you get version 784.2?
You added it to fwcutter here... :)

Ah, I know it by a different number.
